They were very attentive one to the

But before she did so she held up her

VIRTUES OF VARIOUS GEMS
The Proper Months to Wear Pre-
ciOuS StOneS---French Bride
GrOOmS' Freaks.

The Proper Months to Wear Pre-
ciOus Stones---French Bride
grOOms' Freaks.
In the fourteenth century fanciful
Italian writer Oh the mystic arts set
forth the virtues of the various gems,
indicating also the month in which it
was proper to wear particular stones in
order to secure the best result. The
idea took, and for some time 1t was the
fashion in several Italian cities to have
the precious stone of the ring deter
mined by the month in which the bride
was born.
III in January, the stone was garnet,
believed TO have the power of winning
the wearer friends wherever she went.
If in February, her ring was set with an
amethyst, which not only promoted in
her the quality of sincerity, but pro-
tected her from poison and from SLAM
derOus tongues. The blood stone was
for March, making her wise and ena-
Bling her with patience to bear domestic
cares: the diamond for April, keeping
her heart innocent and pure SO long as
she wore the gem. An emerald tor May
made her a happy wife, while an agate
for June gave her health and protection
from FAIRIES and ghosts. If born in July
the stone was ruby, which tended to
keep her free from jealousy of her
husband, while in August the SardOnyx
made her happy in the maternal rela-
ton. In September sapphire was the
proper stone, it preventing quarrels be-
tween the welded pair. In October a
carbuncle was chosen, to promote her
love of home. The NOvember-born
bride wore a topaz, it having the gift of
making her truthful and Obedient to her
husband, while in December the tur-
quOise insured her faithfulneSS.
Among the German country folk the
last manned stone is to the present day
used as a setting for the betrothal ring,
and so long as it retains its color is be-
lieved to indicate the constancy of the
wearel. From Italy this fanciful notion
spread to France, and French bride
grooms would sometimes insure them
selves against bad matrimonial bar
gains, and as far as they could guaran-
tee to their brides variety of good
qualities by presenting twelve rings,
one for each month, with occasionally
one or two extra as special charms.

BASHFUL MANS BATH.
He Is Attended by Japanese Girl
Who Hides Behind a Screen.

Ex-Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago.
writes to the Mail. of that city, from
Hiogo, Japan: Then ore of the girls
tells US the bath is ready. We undress
and put on a robe. \ girl shows us to
the bath room. 1t is down stairs and
has only an open japanese screen to
shut off the gaze of the habitueS of the
house. The tub is a round wooden vat
about four feet deep. You put your
foot in TO try the temperature. The
foot at once takes the hue of a boiled
lobster. You nearly shrek. The
girl laughs and emptieS pail of
cold water in. You then wait for
her to go out. She does not bulge. You
can't, TO save you. think of Japanese
enough to tell her to git. Finally, by
lot of awkward signs. you get her be-
farther. There she stands and waits,
as innocently as did good old Eve when
Adam poured into her willing ears his
first declaration of undying affection.
There are things that try mems
souls and call for heroic courage. One
can scale the bristling wall. can march
into the mouth of a hOt-throated cannon,
can mount the scaffold with the shining
axe glistening in the sun, can tell
the girl he loves how he would wed and
win her. can make a maiden speech
in the house of representatives. But
these are are easy tasks compared to
that of getting into hot bath with a
pretty japanese girl looking at you
through a rattan screen-lOOkiDg at you,
too, with as much sang froid as if she
were seeing three-mOnths-old baby
stripped of its little flannel shirt.
FINALLY patience gives out, you drop
your robe and jump in. Good heavens!
the pail of cold water did cool the thing,
but the furnace is still adding caloric.
You feel much as did the poor Japanese
martyrs when, few hundred years ago,
the heather wretches boiled them into
grease. You forget the girl and every
thing else and jump out thoroughly
clothed; i. e., clothed in scarlet skin.
All, these are things which try mems
